Why "Dancing in the Dark"?

A songwriter for Broadway and Hollywood from the '20s to the '60s, Arthur Schwartz wrote most of his popular tunes with lyricist Howard Dietz. This one was recorded by many artists, including Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, and others.

Its ability to capture the fleeting essence of what it means to be alive, and the mystery of that life, evokes the spirit of our series "Mystery: Dancing in the Dark."

Dancing in the dark til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and we're gone
